| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Postmortem MRI examinations with multiple sequences were performed prior to forensic autopsies, and the head, neck, and chest findings were compared with postmortem CT and autopsy findings. As a result, postmortem MRI was able to pick up pathologies and/or traumatic injuries that were previously considered difficult to point out by postmortem CT in areas such as the brain, cervical cord, pulmonary artery, and heart. In particular, it was confirmed that the diagnostic area can be expanded by 3D and/or gradient-echo sequences, which has not been examined so far for PMMR in forensic medicine. In the future, we plan to further study and report and aim to improve the death investigation by applying postmortem image diagnosis including postmortem MRI.
